O'Connell to miss start of Six Nations

Ireland and Munster forward Paul O'Connell has suffered a setback during his rehabilitation from a back injury.

Further tests will be required to be carried out on the injury over the next number of days to establish the extent of the set back.

At this point it is unlikely O'Connell will be available for selection during the early part of the 2008 RBS Six Nations Championship, accoring to reports from the IRFU.
